Well, I am finally back to my computer. We left Fresno yesterday about 3 PM, and got home about noon today. But it was a fun escape.

The 4WD road was ...a bit too rough for a Suburban. I took a Blazer over it 15 years ago, don't remember it being as bad. We turned around after I scared the girls out of their wits. They walked back to our camp site -- and beat me. You know a 4-year-old walking is slow. The Suburban was slower. That's how rough the road was.

The camp site was ideal. Last campers had even left plenty of fire wood. We left more. Enjoyed a great campfire last night.


Charlee brought along two special friends:


The girls were happy to be inside the car, with the heater running...


I left my shoes out, expecting to step into them this morning.


Half an hour later, packed and ready to go. It was a nice spot.


We skipped breakfast in camp. Drove two hours into Oakhurst (only about 25 miles) for a civilized breakfast.

Added highlights: Traumatic bedtime issue -- Charlee could NOT "go" without a toilet. She held it until the restaurant!

Also, deer hunters were just over the hill from our camp. We met 4 vehicles on our way out.
